Bang for Their Buck?: A Critical Précis to the R.N.C.'s Night at a Bondage Club

The Daily Caller has gotten its hands on some sexy new Federal Election Commission documents that detail the Republican National Committee’s expenditures. These expenses include $1,946.25 spent at Voyeur West Hollywood, “a bondage-themed nightclub featuring topless women dancers imitating lesbian sex.” This seems extravagant—particularly in these recessionary times! What can one even do with $1,946.25 in a bondage-themed nightclub? VF Daily spoke with Zena at Pandora’s Box, a BDSM club in Manhattan, to see how much bang we could get for our buck.At Pandora’s Box, a club similar to Voyeur West Hollywood in self-described interests, $2,000 is the cost of a “marathon session,” which Zena explained is an appointment with “all mistresses, all night long.” Otherwise, it’s $205 dollars-per-hour with one mistress, although one can book one of the seven “fetish fantasy rooms” with multiple mistresses for an extended period of time for a higher cost. So really, the Republican National Committee was rather prudent in balancing pleasure and purse-strings!
